“great ambient [Original] great ambient“

“GET THE KALE CEASAR SALAD!!! I love their pizza but I go for the salad. This restaurant has such a great atmosphere and their menu is very accommodating. Everything on the menu is delicious and if you are strong enough to leave room for dessert, you will be extremely happy. Their cookie and their brownie come in a cast iron skillet and tase homemade and the ice cream and whipped cream make it even more delicious.“

“Excellent coffee shop on Long Island, come for the caffeine and stay for the community. We stopped by my mom’s favorite coffee shop mid-afternoon, because the family was trying to kill me with caffeine deprivation. The oat milk latte was carefully made and smooth and easy to drink. The interior is great, for a brief moment in time you are anywhere in the World with roll up garage doors, fooseball and a clean setting for evening entertainment. I’ll be back next time I’m visiting!“

“a creative atmosphere that transports you back in time! Dozens of specialty themed Cocktails with amazing bartenders, live music, fun and creative events, celebrity performances and appearances, and more!“

“We absolutely loved this restaurant! Definitely one of my top choices in the area. The food was farm to table and delicious. The staff were warm, friendly and made you feel right at home. AND the space was to die for! I felt like I was transported back in time but with a modern upgrade. LOVE“

“My best friend lives in Queens so she and I come to the Onion Tree every other Friday night. I wish this place was closer to me. I live in Yonkers. The food is superb, seasoned extraordinarily. The chicken is fresh, soft and cut into small bites. I always order chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, or chicken tikka pizza. I have never had food that I enjoyed this much and I have tried all foods all over the world. I never get tired of this place. And the food is served quickly and piping hot. They’re opening a second place in Manhattan. We’re getting closer to Yonkers!! The drinks are awesome too. Barbra and Louis work behind the bar. They’re friendly and great bartenders.“

“I’ve known this crew since their days at Perdition in Hell’s Kitchen, and walking into their new spot felt like no time had passed at all—in the best way possible.

From the moment you step inside, you can tell how much care and intention has gone into everything. The décor is clean and beautifully done, the drink and food menus are thoughtful and creative, and the prices are honestly more than reasonable for the quality you’re getting. It’s clear this is a place built with real passion. But what truly sets them apart is something you can’t fake—the genuine warmth. They’ve created that rare “locals welcome” atmosphere where everyone feels like a regular, whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth.

Seeing Scotty behind the bar again instantly brought me back, and catching up with Sean, his wife, and the rest of the crew made the night feel more like a reunion than just a night out. I laughed, tried some fantastic new drinks, and had great conversations—not just with the staff and loyal regulars, but also with folks who had stopped in before or after a nearby concert, which added such a fun, lively energy to the place.

This spot is an absolute gem. If you’re anywhere nearby—whether you’re heading to a show or just looking for a great night out—do yourself a favor and stop in. You’ll understand immediately why people keep coming back.

And honestly? The only downside is that they’re no longer in Hell’s Kitchen… because I’d be there all the time.“

“Great spot, great food, excellent service!“

“Great bar! Love going there. Excellent bartenders and they have fantastic events and parties. And since they bought DiMaggios next door the food has taken a step up from their normally great food and specials. The place looks really nice, too! The people who go there are wonderful... stop in for a drink and food. You will not be disappointed and don't forget your darts.“

“great intimate venue. wonderful array of music“

“I’ve been coming to this bar since last year, and it’s always a great experience. The environment is welcoming, relaxed, and fun. The bartenders are very nice, polite, and make you feel right at home.

They also have karaoke nights on Wednesdays and Saturdays, which are always a blast. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good time with great service.“

“The best. The girls take care of me. If I lived in Mineola I go here every day. I used to live in Mineola and go there but now I live in Greece.“

“Thank you for the high-quality service. The drinks are fresh, the service is neat, and the staff is polite and attentive. The convenient location and well-designed interior create a comfortable environment for relaxation. I highly recommend it.“

“10/10 for all the best people working at Time Out ♥️ This is very much a local spot where you’re guaranteed great service and great food and drinks! Lots of good atmosphere, pool table, darts, great game and music selection!“

“This place is an amazing “Staycation”. Anna Maria runs an amazing experience. The vibe is awesome, everyone is super friendly. There’s a happiness energy that is contagious. Great wine and food selections. Santos is an extremely attentive waiter with great recommendations. It’s like Rye’s version of Cheers. The live band brings everyone together. Bravo Anna Maria.“

“Good Company Tavern is the kind of place that’s becoming harder and harder to find.

In a world full of chain restaurants and cookie-cutter bars, this tavern still feels like a true neighborhood gathering place. The moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by old New York character—the beautiful woodwork, stained glass, historic bar, and stories that seem to live within the walls themselves.

What I appreciate most is that this isn’t just a bar; it’s a piece of local history. You can feel the generations of people who have passed through here. Whether you’re stopping in for a drink, a conversation, or just to soak in the atmosphere, there’s a genuine sense of “ Good company “ at the Good Company Tavern.

If you appreciate old-school Queens charm, local history, and a place with real personality, do yourself a favor and stop in. Places like this deserve to be supported and preserved for future generations.“

“After being rudely treated at Your Mother’s House, my friends and I impulsively decided to stop by Angry Gnome to finish watching the Knicks game and celebrate our friend’s birthday, and I’m so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, the bouncer and the owner, Harry, were kind, and accommodating.

I had brought a birthday cake with me and asked Harry if it would be okay to bring it out, and not only did he say yes, but he even helped me cut the cake and pass it around to everyone. That level of kindness and hospitality truly stood out and completely turned our night around.

The vibes here were amazing, everyone in the bar was friendly, and the atmosphere felt genuinely welcoming and fun. Thank you to Harry and the staff for making our friend’s birthday fun. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Friendly hangout with great bunch of guys and girls.“

“Great service and even better memory. Highly recommended.“

“We enjoyed Friday evening here and found the place to be pleasant and staff to be friendly.

The service is quick, and the bar is well stocked.

Located in the pleasant neighborhood, the menu here is reasonably good.

It's not recommended for food, but drinks options are great.

What deserves a special mention?
It's quiet and a visit is pleasant here.

What could be better?
Food options. And, it is always good to provide the menu right away when guests arrive. Not everyone is visiting just for a beer. Some prefer an experience.“

“Multicultural, Friendly fast service.. Mo& Sha are the best!!“

“Love the food specially the desserts!“

“My husband and I ate there tonight. Whenever we go, the food is always spot on delicious. The beef stew and chicken pot pie were comforting and filling! Thank you Rob for all the love you put into your meals!“
